1. Nokia's history dates back to 1865, when the Finnish-Swedish mining engineer Fredrik Idestam founded a pulp mill near Tampere, Finland (then part of the Russian Empire). A second pulp mill opened in 1868 near the neighboring town of Nokia,offering the best hydropower resources. In 1871, Idestam, together with his friend Leo Mechelin, founded a joint company from him and named it Nokia Ab (in Swedish, Nokia Company - English equivalent), in honor of the place where the second pulp mill was located. Idestam retired in 1896, making Mechelin chairman of the company. By 1902, Mechelin had begun generating electricity, which Idestam opposed. In 1904, Suomen Gummitehdas (Finnish Rubber Factory), a rubber business founded by Eduard Polon, established a factory near the city of Nokia and used its name. In 1922 Nokia Ab entered into a partnership with Finnish Rubber Works and Kaapelitehdas (Cable Factory), which are now jointly run by Pol n. Finnish Rubber Works grew rapidly when it moved to the Nokia region in the 1930s to take advantage of the power supply, and soon the cable company did so too. � Nokia also manufactured respirators for both civil and military use at the time, from the 1930s to the early 1990s. [25] In 1967, three companies - Nokia, Kaapelitehdas and Finnish Rubber Works - merged to form a new corporation, Nokia, reorganized into four main divisions: forestry, cable manufacturing, rubber and electronics. In the early 1970s, she entered the networking and radio industries. Nokia also began producing military equipment for the Finnish Defense Forces (Puolustusvoimat), such as the Sanomalaite M / 90 communicator in 1983 and the M61 gas mask, first developed in the 1960s. Nokia now also made professional mobile radios, telephone switches, capacitors and chemicals. for more information visit:https://shouts.site/nokia/
